This was an extremely obscure setting, as it was used only with vo_gl
if its scaled-osd suboption was used. If you really want this, you can
set the desired ass-hinting value directly, and there will be literally
no loss in functionality.
Note that this didn't actually test whether the EOSD was scaled.
Basically, it only checked whether vo_gl had the scaled-osd suboption
set.
libass may always return a full change if no subtitle images are
rendered in some cases (empty tracks). Also, a full change despite empty
sub-images list may be reported on initialization. Avoid invoking odd
special cases in the VO code by always exiting early if the sub-image
list is empty.
Note that at least for OSD, the code in sub.c doesn't even send a
request VOCTRL_DRAW_EOSD if the image list is empty. But the subtitle
rendering code in vf_vo.c is independent from this (at least for now).
Before this commit, the OSD was drawn using libass, but the resulting
bitmaps were converted to the internal mplayer OSD format. We want to
get rid of the old OSD format, because it's monochrome, and can't even
be rendered directly using modern video output methods (like with
OpenGL/Direct3D/VDPAU).
Change it so that VOs can get the ASS images directly, without
additional conversions. (This also has the consequence that the OSD can
render colors now.) Currently, this is vo_gl3 only. The other VOs still
use the old method. Also, the old OSD format is still used for all VOs
with DVD subtitles (spudec).
Rewrite sub.c. Remove all the awkward flags and bounding boxes and
change detection things. It turns out that much of that isn't needed.
Move code related to converting subtitle images to img_convert.c. (It
has to be noted that all of these conversions were already done before
in some places, and that the new code actually makes less use of them.)
One sub_bitmaps struct could contain either a libass ASS_Image list, or
a mplayer native list of sub-bitmaps. This caused code duplication in
vo_vdpau.c and bitmap_packer.c.
Avoid this by creating such a sub_bitmap array even with libass. This
basically copies the list and recreates it in mplayer's native format.
It gets rid of the code duplication, and will make implementing extended
subtitle and OSD rendering in other VOs easier.
Also do some cosmetic changes and other preparations for the following
commits.
The <libavutil/avutil.h> stopped including <libavutil/common.h>
recursively in recent ffmpeg/libav git revisions. As a result, some
files no longer got needed definitions, causing a build failure.
Modify #include lines in various files to fix build with the latest
versions of ffmpeg/libav headers.
This was disabled by default, and could be enabled with -dr. It was
disabled by default because it was buggy: there were issues with OSD
corruption.
It wasn't entirely sane for OpenGL based VOs either. OpenGL can chose
to drop mapped pixel buffer objects, requiring the application to map
and fill the buffer again. But there was no mechanism in mplayer to
fill the lost buffer again. (It seems this rarely happened in practice,
though.)
On the other side, users liked the --dr flag, because it promised them
more speed. I'm not sure if it actually helped with speed, but it's
unlikely it had any real advantages on modern systems.
In order to evade the --dr cargo culting in mplayer config files, it's
best to get rid of it.
vo_osd_changed() was a weird function: it was used both to query and
mutate state, which is a bad combination. The VOs used it to query
and reset the state, and the mplayer frontend mostly used it to set
the state. In some cases, the frontend did both (that code used a
variable "int hack" to backup the state and set it again).
Simplify it and make the VOs use a vo_osd_has_changed() function to
query whether the OSD bitmaps have to be recreated. vo_osd_changed()
on the other hand is now used to update state only. The OSD change
state is reset when osd_draw_text() is called.
Update vo_corevideo.m to use vo_osd_resized() as well (forgotten change
from libass-OSD merge).
Simplify osd_set_text() and its usages.
Both VOs will now by default try to set vsync according to the global
vsync setting. By default, vsync is enabled, and passing --no-vsync will
disable it.
The --vsync option used to matter for vo_vesa only, but that VO has been
removed.
The OSD will now be rendered with libass. The old rendering code, which
used freetype/fontconfig and did text layout manually, is disabled. To
re-enable the old code, use the --disable-libass-osd configure switch.
Some switches do nothing with the new code enabled, such as -subalign,
-sub-bg-alpha, -sub-bg-color, and many more. (The reason is mostly that
the code for rendering unstyled subtitles with libass doesn't make any
attempts to support them. Some of them could be supported in theory.)
Teletext rendering is not implemented in the new OSD rendering code. I
don't have any teletext sources for testing, and since teletext is
being phased out world-wide, the need for this is questionable.
Note that rendering is extremely inefficient, mostly because the libass
output is blended with the extremely strange mplayer OSD format. This
could be improved at a later point.
Remove most OSD rendering from vo_aa.c, because that was extremely
hacky, can't be made work with osd_libass, and didn't work anyway in
my tests.
Internally, some cleanup is done. Subtitle and OSD related variable
declarations were literally all over the place. Move them to sub.h and
sub.c, which were hoarding most of these declarations already. Make the
player core in mplayer.c free of concerns like bitmap font loading.
The old OSD rendering code has been moved to osd_ft.c. The font_load.c
and font_load_ft.c are only needed and compiled if the old OSD
rendering code is configured.
TOOLS/file2string.py was recently added upstream, so bin_to_header.py
is not needed anymore. Also fix vo_gl3.c, since file2string.py works
slightly different from my script.
Conflicts:
.gitignore
bstr.c
cfg-mplayer.h
defaultopts.c
libvo/video_out.c
The conflict in bstr.c is due to uau adding a bstr_getline function in
commit 2ba8b91a97. This function already existed in this branch.
While uau's function is obviously derived from mine, it's incompatible.
His function preserves line breaks, while mine strips them. Add a
bstr_strip_linebreaks function, fix all other uses of bstr_getline, and
pick uau's implementation.
In .gitignore, change vo_gl3_shaders.h to use an absolute path
additional to resolving the merge conflict.
This new vo is heavily based on vo_gl.c. It provides better scale
filters, dithering, and optional color management with LittleCMS2.
It requires OpenGL 3.
Many features are enabled by default, so it will be slower than vo_gl.
However, it can be tuned to behave almost as vo_gl.
